I just had to tell about my Epla shop debut that has gone beyond all expectations. 5 days after I started I was featured on facebook as the taste of the day, then a few days later I got to be on the front page of Epla itself. Now, 2 weeks on, I have already sold a couple of necklaces, and I am unbelievably grateful to those that appreciate my work.

But the most exiting thing that happened was actually the day after my shop opened. I was contacted by Galleri Krane in Tromsø who wanted to buy some of my jewelry and then resell them in their galley. We have now agreed on the terms and, what I hope, will be the first of many shipments are ready to go north.

So now I’ll be chewing my fingers hoping the necklaces will be of taste to the people that are able to view them live aswell.

Epla is the Norwegian version of Etsy, and I have finally opened up my own store. To be more specific I opened the account months ago, but haven’t had the time to do all the preparations needed for the shop itself. But finally it all got done and I’m happy to welcome everyone here who wants to take a look. I don’t have that many products yet, but it will come, slow but steady :) Today’s contributions are these 3 domino collages, 2 necklaces and 1 brooch.

Most people would have seen owls similar these around the net. With some encouragement from my daughter I decided to join the trend. They were made of both new and retro fabrics and they were fun to sew. But I got so bored with changing the tread all the time that I will not be sewing another one for quite some time :)

From the start I was planning to use a completely different tapestry for this pillow. But as I was searching through my fabrics this pillow appeared, so the other tapestry will have to wait for a different fabric. I combined the pastry with some leftovers, an old curtain, some lace and ribbon.

Who am I:

I live with my daughter and a peculiar cat in an old house in the middle of a big-small town on the south/west coast of Norway. The house would most defiantly benefit from a total renovation, but it got lots of charm and we love it. My daughter is 12 and she makes her mother proud every day, the cat is about 8 and as big a diva as a cat can be and I’m the one that tries to be on top of everything.
